''Mira,'' Craig muttered under his breath. He nodded at her. He smiled after he saw her with Jack. Although Craig still yearned to be with Isabella, he was glad Mira and Jack were together. He thought it was sweet when Jack held Mira's hand. It was just like when he held Isabella Dragotti's hand prior to her death.
Tears began to appear in Craig's eyes. He refused to reveal tears to anyone. A smile formed on his face the minute he saw Mrs. Brown. ''Long time, no see.'' A confused expression replaced his smile the minute he saw something odd on her shoulder. He wasn't sure what the creature was.
''The cat-like animal sounds friendly,'' Craig muttered. He smiled again. ''At least based on it purring.'' A sudden thoughtful expression formed on Craig's face. He looked around. ''CICERO!'' he shouted.
Craig blushed as soon as he heard how loud he was. ''Cicero?'' Worry filled his eyes. ''I don't remember if Cicero is at your place, Jack. I don't remember if he is here. Cicero is still my current pet.''

James began to smile at Jack. ''That's good to hear about you taking my advice, Jack.'' A frown replaced his smile after Jack held Mira's hand. James looked to the side for a moment. *I remember holding Cecilia's hand after I asked her to marry me. I remember her smile after she consented to be my wife.*
That was when James remembered he was a wedding guest. *Hopefully I won't fall apart during the actual words between future spouses. Cecilia and I were to marry. I'll never view Cecilia in a bride's dress and veil. I'll never see her with flowers. I'll never eat a slice of wedding cake.*
James saw a strange cat-like creature on Mrs. Brown's shoulder. His eyes became wide. ''I saw odd creatures during my Neverland days, but never anything like this at all.'' James smiled at a snail's pace. ''At least the creature is purring.'' He used his fingers to scratch the creature between the ears. *I shouldn't reveal my hook to the creature. It might flee or hiss at me.*
James turned to Craig. He frowned after the latter shouted. ''IT'S IMPOLITE TO SHOUT!'' His eyes widened again. Blushing, James looked sheepish. He placed his arms behind his back. The corner of his mouth formed a tiny grin.

"Oh, just take your wand. I was only trying to liven up this party a bit. I didn't break it," Harley said as she looked at Fachtna and smiled. "And this place is so totally boring, I'm surprised you didn't turn someone into a dragon or something."
"It takes great skill to cause such transformations," Fachtna hissed as she checked her wand and stashed it into her bag. "Do not get on my bad side, my dears, or you both might end up in a very bad spot indeed!" The woman turned and walked off before Harley could say another word to her.
"What a piece of work," Harley said to Omega Red as she watched him finish his lobster. "We can go once you're finished. I still have the keys, and Colossus seems to be out of sight for the moment. Let me see if I can find a place for us to have some fun!"
As she looked at the handheld device Nemesis gave her, Harley smiled and did a little fist bump. "We may not need to leave at all. It seems a bunch of crazy protesters is headed here. I bet we can find you someone to layeth the smacketh down on, good sir," she said as she bowed slightly to Omega Red. "We do have to be fancy here, right?" she said as she picked up a cup of tea and drank it with her pinky extended.

Omega Red smiled at Harley's dragon comment. ''Turning someone into a dragon might be interesting. As long as we're not the ones being turned into dragons.'' He looked thoughtful. *Perhaps being a dragon won't be so bad. Breathing fire and flying.*
Omega Red completed eating his lobster. He glanced at the wedding guests again. He frowned after he heard the man with the hook's loud words. ''The loud man with the hook for a hand! Perhaps he will be my other enemy. You could end his life if you wish, Harley.''
Omega Red tilted his head to one side at the mention of others arriving. ''How do you know others are protesters?'' His smile returned. ''I'll be more than happy to defeat other wedding guests. Wait a moment. They aren't wedding guests. Wedding crashers!''
The sight of Harley bowing caused Omega Red's smile to almost reach his eyes. ''You bow just like the hooked loudmouth. Did you view him bowing earlier, Harley?'' Omega Red tried not to laugh as Harley extended a pinky.

"Mrs. Brown, where is Cicero?" Jack asked as his eyes grew wide while staring at the cat-like creature. He then turned as he heard rather loud thumping in the distance. "Rubeus? How did he merit an invitation?" Jack muttered, shaking his head, as Cicero, the tiny wyvern that had been gifted to Craig at the Mystic Council, flew overhead and then landed on Dragotti's shoulder. Cicero was followed closely by Rubeus Haggrid, the groundskeeper and creature master at Buckland Academy. "Who let you in?" Jack questioned the giant as Rubeus' laughter could be heard everywhere at the Conservatory. The two men embraced briefly as Jack tried not to be squashed by Haggrid.
"I came to fetch this wee one," Rubeus said as he pointed to the creature on Mrs. Brown's shoulder and then bowed to the group. He was over seven feet tall and had very long dark hair and a beard to match. "Her owner got a tiny bit tipsy, so I should watch her until his headache is better. Rubeus Haggrid, at your service."
"Craig Dragotti and Captain James Hook, Rubeus," Jack said as he introduced his friends. "I believe you know Mira Mcgowan and, of course, Mrs. Brown."
"A pleasure to see you both again, ladies, especially on such a grand day, and grand to make your acquaintance, gentlemen," Rubeus added as he bowed again to the group. "And that is a wonderful wyvern, sir," he said to Craig.

Craig turned to James and frowned. ''You just shouted, James,'' he muttered. The other man's sheepish expression caused one corner of his mouth to go up. Craig's eyes became wide after he saw Cicero. His smile became whole. He scratched Cicero's back after the latter landed on his shoulder.
Craig nodded at Rubeus. ''Thanks for bringing Cicero. Thanks for making sure he's safe. Thanks for the compliment about Cicero,'' he said. Craig turned to James and scowled. ''NEVER frighten Cicero or harm him, James.''

Captain Hook's eyes widened the minute he saw Cicero and Rubeus. He blinked the minute Cicero landed on Craig's shoulder. ''The creature reminds me of a certain dragon one of the Lost Boy brats released years ago.'' Captain Hook began to focus on Rubeus. *I thought I was a giant compared to my crew!* After blinking again, he bowed near Rubeus.

OOC: I will app Rubeus & Blackwell ASAP!
IC:
"Haggrid! I got you that grog!" Alastair Blackwell shouted as he pushed in a barrel on a hand truck. "Oh! Jack! Craig! And the every wonderful Mira and Mrs. Brown! And...James Hook? Dear heaven! I had heard rumors you were out of Neverland! Glad to meet you on such a happy occasion!"
As a member of the Mystic Council's police unit, Blackwell knew a lot more than he let on, and he was a lot older than he let everyone believe. He had likely heard of Captain Hook during one of his own adventures up and down the time stream over the years, or he might have met him a very long time ago when he wore another face.
"Oh, these silly tankards!" Blackwell exclaimed as he pulled several from a hook on his belt. "Anyone else fancy a bit of grog? Or are ale or rum more to your liking?" he asked as he looked around for a waiter. "Mira, are you in the wedding party? And heavens, my manners. Cicero, would you like one of these biscuits? No chocolate for you. I remember when Rhiannon DalCais fed a wyvern chocolate. Pour thing got sick all over the place."

Captain James Hook's eyes became bigger at the sight of the unfamiliar man arriving. ''How do you know about me? How do you know I departed from Neverland?'' Captain Hook tried to remember if he came across the man. ''My apologies, but I don't recognize you at all.'' He began to shrug.
James glanced at Cicero. His eyes widened again. He couldn't bear the thought of a wyvern getting sick on his blouse and coat. James viewed Cicero flying to Blackwell. One corner of his mouth went up. ''You would abandon your master for a biscuit?''
James watched as Cicero ate a biscuit. He blinked. ''I guess you would abandon your master for a biscuit.'' James turned to Blackwell.

"Well the lines of both the husband and wife to be stretch out quite a ways to various factions so I doesn't surprise me that the amazons are here. I wouldn't be surprised if Sean's sister Lara shows up as well. I know she's been making sure on the security end things go smoothly."
She then turned as a smile appeared on her face as she heard a familiar voice. "Ah Blackwell. Glad to see you could make it to the festivities." She said as she then let out a laugh. "Oh I should very well think I would be part of the wedding party. I know the couple have been waiting for this day for quite a while. I've called in some friends as well to make sure the various factions behave themselves. Aleera the vampire queen should make a brief appearance later to make sure her tribes behave themselves. Sean is respected among the ranks but sometimes the younger vampires need to be kept in line."

Major Domo focused on Dorcha for a few more moments. Worry filled his eyes during another frown. He turned to Erinyes. ''I have a nasty feeling about something. A nasty feeling that something will occur here. A funeral instead of a wedding.''
Major Domo glanced at a variety of guests. ''I don't think the guests here will cause trouble. Possible intruders. Trespassers wishing to harm others here. I don't view the trespassers now. That's good.''
One of Major Domo's eyebrows went up after he saw Cicero. ''A wyvern here?'' He began to shrug. ''There are vampires present. Superhumans. A wyvern can be here and not be different.''
Major Domo started to worry for a second. ''Perhaps the future trespassers will be Spiral and Mojo! Will they find us here at all? Hopefully not. I don't wish to view you injured or...'' Major Domo refused to complete his thought.

Curiosity was why Sasha tilted his head to one side. It was after he saw Rubeus and Cicero. He glanced at Alison. ''Remind me not to get on the giant's nasty side!'' Sasha said. He squinted at the sight of Cicero. ''The wyvern is adorable,'' he muttered.
Sasha gasped after he viewed the wyvern on Craig's shoulder. ''That wyvern likes Craig?!'' He shook his head in disbelief. ''Craig will probably eventually swat it. He might yell at it sometimes. I almost wish to adopt the wyvern.''

"I'm just being silly, Arkady," Harley said with a giggle as she set down the tea cup. "I saw that hook guy bow before, but I saw a lot of other people doing it, too, when we walked in. Some queen of the vampires is supposed to be here, and there are other mystical hotshots arriving later. If I were into a little light fingered Louie action, I could make a killing from snatching the baubles these overly-polite faux aristocrats are wearing, but I think I'll stick to eating, drinking and busting heads."
Harley then showed Omega Red the monitoring device Doc Nemesis had given to her. Well, maybe not actually given to her. Maybe she just took it for her own amusement in the end?
"Doc Grouchy had this on his desk, so I borrowed it. He knows I lifted it. He's not stupid. Just exceedingly cranky on a good day. But let's face it, this whole crazy party could turn into the plot for the next Underworld movie. I do not want to end up someone's undead thrall or their two-legged snack. I also do not take kindly to bigots and maniacs who think the world is only fit for their kind. You can insert any bigoted bunch you want into that sentence. I'm an equal opportunity head-buster! So, I'll keep monitoring this thing, and then we can see where to run to get into the action."

''I guess I never viewed others bowing.'' One eye became bigger than the other. ''A vampire queen?'' Omega Red glanced at every guest. He smiled again. ''The vampire queen will be attending a buffet. So many necks for her to pierce with her fangs.''
If Omega Red never received the C-Synthesizer, he would have considered almost every wedding guest to be a deceased form thanks to his Death Spores. He saw the monitoring device before he smiled at the mention of Doc Grouchy. ''That's a good one. Doc Grouchy!'' Omega Red concentrated on the device. ''How close is the vampire queen to us now?''

Craig smiled the minute he saw Blackwell. ''I won't taste rum now,'' he said. He laughed as soon as Cicero flew to a biscuit. Captain Hook's comments caused a scowl to replace his smile. He turned his head and faced Captain Hook. ''You don't seem like a gentleman right now, James.''
Craig shook his head. ''Cicero will never abandon me for anything. Perhaps he is just hungry, James.'' Craig smiled as soon as Cicero returned to him. He viewed Cicero landing on his shoulder. He scratched the wyvern's face for a few seconds.
